When Zhou Yan reappeared, he had transformed into someone else again, and he even walked past those who had been tracking him without being discovered.
"Where did he go?"
"He vanished in an instant."
"He runs really fast."
"Let's keep searching and see if we can find him."
Zhou Yan chuckled, ignoring them, and continued to purchase items from others. He primarily bought various materials and medicinal herbs. If he encountered any pill recipes or high-level equipment blueprints, he would buy them as well.
As for skills, cultivation techniques, and high-level equipment or items that could be purchased with spiritual currency, Zhou Yan missed none of them. This attention-grabbing behavior led many people to notice him, so Zhou Yan had to change his appearance periodically to make those who were searching for him unable to find him for a long time.
Zhou Yan also purchased many low-level buildings here. These were ordinary buildings, but Zhou Yan didn't find them to be too many; he bought as many as he could.
"Zhou Yan, there's someone here who exclusively sells blueprints. If you're interested, come over," Lin Tan sent him a message.
"Okay, which area and stall number are you at?" Zhou Yan inquired.
"I'm at C-zone, stall 599," Lin Tan replied.
"Coming right away," Zhou Yan responded, then headed in Lin Tan's direction.
After more than ten minutes, Zhou Yan successfully arrived at C-zone, stall 599, and saw Lin Tan waving at him, "Here, here."
"This old man has a lot of blueprints and has already sold many. I wonder where he got them from, as he still has quite a few," Lin Tan said.
"Mm," Zhou Yan arrived at the stall and looked at the blueprints. Indeed, there were many in front of him.
He casually browsed through them. A Gold quality "Golden Jade Earring Blueprint," it was average, too low in quality, but it was a jewelry blueprint nonetheless.
A Diamond quality "Splendid Cloak Blueprint." This was good, and quite rare.
This was a Spirit Artifact "Life-Taking Spear Crafting Blueprint." Damn, this old man was something else, to have blueprints of this quality.
And this one, it was a seven-star medicinal pill, the "Soul Returning Pill" recipe. He even had recipes for high-level pills.
This was an eight-star potion, the "Starlight Potion." This was a Mechanist's "Nine Aperture Spirit Beast" crafting blueprint...
Looking at the high-level blueprints one by one, Zhou Yan was truly shocked.
This guy had too many blueprints, it was practically a blueprint wholesale store, no wonder it attracted so many people.
But the prices he was selling at were truly exorbitant, deterring many.
However, Zhou Yan was different.
He truly wasn't short on money, so he said to Lin Tan, "You should leave first, disguise yourself, and then come back, but make sure you stay far away from me."
"Why?" Lin Tan didn't understand Zhou Yan's actions.
"Just do as I say," Zhou Yan replied.
"Alright," Though Lin Tan wasn't entirely sure, he left.
After Lin Tan left, Zhou Yan immediately stepped forward and said to the old man selling blueprints, "Old man, interested in a private transaction? I'll take all the blueprints you have."
Upon hearing Zhou Yan make such a bold statement, the old man sneered, "Kid, don't mess around, go home."
"Hahaha!!!"
The surrounding people burst into laughter, thinking Zhou Yan was some kind of swindler trying to lure the old man to a secluded spot to rob him.
To buy all these blueprints? How was that possible? Without hundreds of billions of spiritual currency, it was simply unattainable.
They truly didn't believe Zhou Yan's words.
But Zhou Yan casually pointed to dozens of high-level blueprints on the old man's stall, the most expensive ones there, each costing over a billion. He said, "I'll take these first, let's trade."
Zhou Yan then sent a trade request to the old man.
"Are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?" the old man asked suspiciously.
"Are you selling or not?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Fine, I'll see if you, this little brat, can really come up with so much money!"
The old man hesitated for a moment but then accepted. He put up the blueprints and stated a price of over a hundred billion.
A hundred billion, where could an ordinary person get such an amount? This was no small sum.
Although they couldn't see Zhou Yan's exact age, they were all formidable individuals, and from Zhou Yan's clothing and voice, they could tell he wasn't very old.
"This is over a hundred billion, can this guy really afford it?"
"There are people like this at the trading fair, but they usually don't come out alone. I don't think this person looks like he can afford this much money."
"He even boasted earlier about wanting to buy everything, which would cost at least hundreds of billions of spiritual currency. How could an ordinary person afford so many blueprints?"
"The key thing is that this old man isn't simple either, to be able to acquire so many blueprints."
...
Hearing this, Zhou Yan felt it was a bit expensive, but he still bought them. After all, as long as these blueprints were acquired, more high-quality equipment could be forged, which was good for his territory.
It was just over a hundred billion, what a big deal.
After Zhou Yan entered the spiritual currency, the old man was stunned, not expecting Zhou Yan to actually have so much spiritual currency. He was a little surprised and agreed to the transaction.
Seeing the spiritual currency arrive in his account, the old man finally believed that Zhou Yan indeed had that much money.
"You brat, do you really want to buy all the blueprints I have?" the old man looked at Zhou Yan suspiciously. He had quite a few blueprints, and he hadn't expected Zhou Yan to have so much capital to buy so many.
"However much you have, I'll take it all. And we can only trade with spiritual currency, how about it?" Zhou Yan replied.
"I still have a lot of blueprints on me. You can really handle them. Let me tell you, without over a trillion, don't even think about taking them," the old man gave Zhou Yan astonishing news.
Zhou Yan was very surprised upon hearing this, and then became happy, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take it all, immediate transaction."
"Alright, since that's the case, let's trade in batches. I don't believe you really have that much money."
The old man proposed another trade, putting up over ten thousand Gold quality equipment blueprints, covering all sorts of types.
With this kind of transaction, others wouldn't know how much they were trading, making it very discreet.
"One thousand five hundred and thirty-two Gold blueprints. I won't calculate them one by one. I'll sell them to you at an average price of two million per blueprint. Just give me an even three hundred billion spiritual currency."
The highest price for Gold quality equipment was around five hundred thousand, but blueprints were indeed a bit more expensive, as having blueprints allowed for the continuous forging of more equipment.
However, the old man selling them for two million each was still more expensive than the market price.
But given the sheer quantity, Zhou Yan didn't care. It was just money, what a big deal.
